    Side note: You are in Sydney right? The IPF oceanias are there (7-9 December), if I manage to make it you would have to come watch mate!
    And Hayden I'll be there, may even pick you up from the Airport and stuff!
    I'd be keen to get in on that also. Would be good to meet up with you guys.

    Outstanding pulls as always, Nick.

    Yeah, that is pretty cool that you found a gym while in the states. No breaks. Really dig it. I'm guessing some commercial gym?

    Quick update.

    We have jammed so much so far I can not put it down in words, we fly in a helicopter from Vegas to the Grand Canyon and I climbing down into the canyon with my camera.....out of this world being down there all alone!

    10 hours straight free drinks at the roulette table and I won baby, even won Gemmas money back for her.

    Elvis cirque du soleil show was WAY better than I expected, man he was the man.....him and Cash!

    Stood eye to eye 2 foot from Sugar Ray Lenard!!!!! Hell yeah!

    Had one of the best steaks in my life in San Fran.....

    Many more things to tell, making friends easy here good people.

    600 photos so far and many will be blown up and on my walls, I love this Country and already have locked in amazing memories.

    Would like to stay for 2 years.

    Hey all, in NYC now.....shopping is great I got about $800 worth of camp gear and $1000 shoes/ clothes yet only spent 700.

    Hey BC im not going to be very strong right now but I'm keen as to come train, where is your gym? I will plan it and let you know when. Speed pulls ok with you??

    Staying at Dream hotel Chelsea, check it out lots of celebs are here partying at the rooftop bar.

    Yesterday was lots of BBing for biceps forearms and hamstrings. Today chest and tris.

    I have had a cold this whole time and my hips/ groin are very sore so physically I'm not in the best state but I can't complain really being on such a cool vacation.

    Will check in again tomorrow.

    Cheers!
